<p>Thanks for the insight, Elias! I'm powering her back up and I guess my next move will be looking into some spare bulbs :)</p>

<p>Had the same experience with Mathmos halogen bulbs. One even stopped working after just 5 minutes of use. Some break right away and other work just fine.</p>
<p>I dont know much about lightbulbs but i think moving or slightly bumping the lamp while running could be one of the reasons.</p>
<p>At least on higher wattage halogen bulbs that can cause the fillament to melt into the glass.</p>

<p>well... the spare bulb worked, but I'm still a little concerned. the bulb that was in the unit when it immediately turned off earlier was sent to me with the original unit so it should have lasted longer than 1 month. luckily - they sent me another bulb with the replacement unit. perhaps the issue has something to do with my setup / step up converter (or maybe it's just a faulty bulb). do you all think I should be concerned? for now - I'll leave the lamp powered off until hearing back.</p>
